The boycott is completely warranted, and I respect anyone who chooses to skip Ender’s Game because of it. Orson Scott Card is a homophobic, xenophobic bigot. He’s a vocal opponent of marriage equality for same-sex couples, and recently sat on the board of the National Organization for Marriage. He’s also a racist; this May, he wrote a completely unhinged op-ed in which he posits a future where Barack Obama becomes the effective dictator of the United States by installing Michelle as a puppet ruler and puts down any opposition by using “urban gangs” as his personal police force.
